- 2. Next, an in-person technical interview with the hiring manager, consisting of:
- You giving us a quick demo of a software project you built independently, which you are proud of (5min)
- We then turn our focus to the source code of your project. You will answer questions about the choices you made, and explain how the code which you’ve written works. (25min)
- You will answer technical questions related to full-stack development, which will be tailored to your experience (30min)

Salary benchmarks
Our take
HeadBox was founded in 2010 with the intention of making booking and planning events easier for businesses. Over the years, the company has built up an impressive list of high-profile business clients such as EY, Skyscanner, EDF and Sky.
HeadBox's edge lies in its simplicity. Its services streamline the often convoluted planning and booking process, which appeals enormously to large companies. By bringing everything together in one platform, and embracing shifting times by supporting virtual events as well as in-person, the company has remained a strong contender in the market.
This approach has supported Headbox's ability to continue doing well despite traditional events companies struggling in recent years. It also remains a relevant voice in the industry, for instance by penning a report into how AI will play a role in the future of the events market.
